This Just Got Very Real :)

I am a school teacher, so once a year all the vendors like insurance, cancer policy, AFLAC, etc. come to our school.  I always take out about $300.00 for medical reimbursement for things like the dentist or eyeglasses or an occassional sickness.  It's tax free, so my DH and I decided that it would be a good idea to take out the cost of the baby ($2,000.00) out of my checks into the medical reimbursement plan so that I can just pay all the expenses at once.

Sooooo, all of the sudden it feels really official.  lol

 Anyone else doing this?

We're not, but we have several AFLAC policies to help cover the hospitalization and maternity costs-- they are amazing! And I swear, I'm not just saying that because DH works for them...haha

We're doing it too - only $1500 I think though since (hopefully) most everything will be covered by one of the two insurances.

I bumped up my FSA contrib (which I've already had to use to pay some bills this year) AND I started a day care HSA!  I only put $500 in it since we would only be using it for the last few months of the year, but it made me feel like a responsible parent (even if the scuba-diving during early pregancy didn't).

Actually, this is the first time I did the FSA and I did it before I knew I was pregnant (i was about 4 weeks when I did it) - maybe I had a premonition.   SOO glad I did it!  I only did $1700 bc I was calculating the cost of my allergy injections - which I'm no longer getting just in case.  So I'm very thankful that we did that.
